"It's pronounced....An-tee-gah...not An-tig-wah," said the official Sister to the children. "Anybody think to bring an umbrella?" she called aloud.
For it seemed that their day in Antigua was met with rain. Lots of rain, with only an occasional peek of the sun to shine through to tease them. And alas, no one thought to pack an umbrella, so the Family made the best of it and decided to catch up on some much needed rest and relaxation on board the ship.
The boys, Connor, Ryan and Harry, set out for the arcade, the girls to the spa, the son, to the rock climbing wall, and the menfolk in search for some extra dry martini's.
"Who could have guessed that visiting paradise could be so tiring," Susan, said aloud. "It feels like we've been running non-stop since we started."
"Well, eating and drinking and playing and dancing and shopping is hard work," the Queen reminded her sister sternly.
Feeling vindicated, the sisters repositioned themselves in the hot tub and ordered another frozen drink...

The pictures are fabulous...it's bringing back memories. I took my mother to St Martin/St Maarten. I remember hiring a cab driver to take us around the island and renting a car the next day to drive ourselves around. I also remember having some wonderful red snapper at a hotel restaurant..can't remember if that was on the Dutch or French side of the island :) Thanks for sharing your pictures and for allowing me to stroll down Memory Lane.
aah, my pretties...you honour me in your visiting...and your musings...
stay tuned, there is still more...but for now, sleep doth beckon me....
Flora--thank you for the whispered happy birthdays--they were most especial, as Slack would say. These photos are a trip in themselves. all the me's--
Another beautiful set of pictures!! :)
